I wanted something that was: fast, luxurious, could comfortably seat four was no more than two years old, and had a great warranty.

2005 Cadillac CTS-V
400hp/400tq
fully loaded
seats four and has a large trunk
6yr 100k mile warranty

I also love the fact that they car is rare and kind of a sleeper. I love driving cars that you don't see very often. I could have a really fast evo with the same money, but everybody has one of those.
